Franklin Sports Spartan Race Multi 1.0 OCR Glove Pair

My husband loved these for his spartan race - he will definitely use them again!

What’s better than tackling your first Spartan race? Tackling it without waking up with blisters that look like they belong in a Greek tragedy. Enter these gloves — my unexpected heroes. They protected my delicate, keyboard-typing hands like a suit of armor, leaving them as the only part of me that didn’t resemble a human crash-test dummy.While the rest of my body was auditioning for a role in a medieval battle reenactment, my hands? Flawless. Ready to return to the office and type away without wincing. Honestly, if my legs had gloves, I’d be unstoppable. 10/10, would Spartan again — but only with these bad boys.

The Franklin Sports Spartan Race Multi 1.0 OCR Glove Pair (seriously now) is a solid pair of gloves for a variety of uses.For me, I use them on my e-scooter, and feel it's a great use for them. I can still stop and use my phone because my finger tips are exposed, and it means I can more easily "feel" the index-finger throttle on the e-scooter, something that's tricky when you have your finger tips covered, a situation where throttle control can be tougher to modulate smoothly.That said, the factory packaging of this was probably the most annoying thing I've ever encountered: These gloves come with a carabiner, and the carabiner is taped up so it doesn't open. The tape had no obvious end to unravel, so it required some surgical procedure to cut the tape off, which was far more frustrating than you could ever imagine, given how tight the tape was on the carabiner hinge. Why, Franklin? Why?Aside from this one issue, everything else is pretty good. Fit and finish on these gloves is solid. I had a few loose seams around the wrist but nothing too terrible, and easily trimmed off in just a second. Padding is solid, and overall comfort is good. These are by no means remarkable gloves, but they're comfortable and will suit a myriad of uses, and I'll continue to use these on my scooter!4 stars out of 5. Good.

Made spartan races easier gripping

I may be between sizes with these because I tried 2 different sizes. One was too small the other was too big. The gloves work well overall, but need to be broken in especially on the thumb. I’ve worn them in 4 spartan races so far and they have held up well. The grip could be better, but so could my grip strength.

I recommend you to buy one size bigger. My hands are medium in size and I bought M, it was small. More than half of my fingers are out. But the product is very good, it covers the fabric and hand completely

Good product. Only complaint is finger exposure causes rope burn

These gloves are built specifically for the Spartan races. So glad I got them. Without these I would not have been able to complete many of the obstacles I did. I even took them off and let people borrow them to be able to get across. They fit nicely and don't constrict anything. I have a hand that's perfectly in the middle of large and medium sizes. I got medium and would recommend them for people on the edge of sizes. They fit great and survived 20 obstacles, we'll see how many more they can.
